Hint
The 8th one is named "Quack", natch, which I left out to make it a little harder.

Re: New old games in the J! Archive

Speaking of that episode, there is a long-standing error which needs to be corrected: Julie's last name is Nahmias. It was misspelled as "Nahmais" on the screen during the intros. https://i.imgur.com/ECR23bp.png In that case, I would encourage Julie to contact us to correct the record. I ...

I'm as lost with Mitch's last name as I was with Jeff's from 1986-01-28. His interview says "born in Detroit" and "spent a lot of time in Chicago" It's pronounced with a soft G, and Whisper threw out "Jelletti" and "Cialetti". It's "Gilaty". https:/...

I didn't see the episode so I cannot say say say for sure but I'm guessing that the song was "The Boy Is Mine".

As is typical for a S1 or S2 game the last name of Phyllis is a guess with Cornoff. I tried combinations with Kor, adding an H, ending with a V instead of double F and never felt like I rounded her up. It's "Kornov". Here she is on a website for the North Miami Senior High School Class of...
